Linux does that to all of us - watch me trip the next time I get into
shell scripts ;-)

Limewire has Linux client and it works. I think if you go to
www.gnutella.org you will find a number of P2P clients for Linux.

I tend to discourage this because illegal trading of music is what has
fostered and justified this impetus towards DRM.

You undoubtedly saw the link to your post on fedora-list but I will
repeat it for those on this list that aren't on fedora-list as this is
really great stuff...
